however, most of the lots are uploaded as residential lots so they can be easily decorated. even without AL, you can turn them into apartment with Inge's FABULOUS 4-way key lock. i LOVE that hack and used it all the time before i got AL.

the only problem is that some of the lots may contain appliances from AL, which would cause problems if you don't have that EP. but thanks for bringing it up, i will keep note of that for future lots.
